Effects of Feeding Purified Zearalenone Contaminated Diets with or without Clay Enterosorbent on Growth, Nutrient Availability, and Genital Organs in Post-weaning Female Pigs

With a similar structure to estrogen, zearalenone has been demonstrated to affect swine reproduction. Besides its estrogenic effects, zearalenone has also been shown to be hepatotoxic...

Fumonisins affect the intestinal microbial homeostasis in broiler chickens, predisposing to necrotic enteritis

Following the consumption of Fumonisins contaminated feed, the intestine is the first organ to be exposed to these toxins and negative effects on intestinal tissues have been reported. The jejunum of broilers...

Comparison of the efficiency between two sampling plans for aflatoxins analysis in maize

Obtaining trustable results on mycotoxins analysis in feed is important for management and mycotoxicological control purposes. However, the heterogeneous distribution of mycotoxins in cereals leads to variations on...

Mycotoxin Control during Grain Processing

To deal with mycotoxin problems, there must first be an understanding of the fungi which produce them, their growth parameters and interactions with crops. Mycotoxin control is both fungus specific and crop specific. Control of mycotoxins during...
